I research Coral reef ecology and Molecular Biology. My current project is 'Acclimation potential of shallow corals to the mesophotic environment' My longer-term goals will be focused on the thermal tolerance of mesophotic coral species, evolutionary biology studies on mesophotic coral reef ecosystems, and modeling​.

  Please note that only publications relevant to mesophotic reefs are indexed.

	Acclimation potential of Acropora to mesophotic environment | article Tavakoli-Kolour P, Sinniger F, Morita M, Harii S (2023) Mar Pollut Bull
	Plasticity of shallow reef corals across a depth gradient | article Tavakoli-Kolour P, Sinniger F, Morita M, Hazraty-Kari S, Nakamura T, Harii S (2023) Marine Pollution Bulletin 197:115792
